Human Resources is exactly it says: resources for humans – within the workplace! Its main

objective is to meet the organizational needs of the company it represents and the needs of the

people hired by that company. In short, it is the hub of the organization serving as a liaison between

all concerned. Depending on the size of the company, the HR Department might be called

Personnel with a manageable workforce that can be handled by a personnel manager and a small

staff. For larger, more complex organizations with hundreds of departments and divisions, the task

is much more demanding, taking on a life of its own.
